Prussian Clover Coronet

Empress Augusta Victoria, the consort of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the last Empress of Germany, was born on this day in 1858, and to mark the day, we are taking a look at her Prussian Clover Coronet, which is one of the few pieces of Imperial Jewellery that have remained prominent since the fall of the monarchy a century ago-

The Prussian Clover Coronet was commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm II from Koch in 1906, as a Silver Anniversary present to Empress Augusta Victoria, who wore the piece for official events and portraits, including her Lazlo painting. Unlike many of her other jewels, the Coronet has a recorded fate after the fall of the monarchy in 1918.
